Army turns canceled supergun into a hypersonic test tool
Key Takeaways
- The Army says it completed a live-fire test of a full-scale hypersonic warhead using a cannon-based launch system.
- The setup appears tied to the Heavy Artillery Test System derived from the canceled Strategic Long Range Cannon.
- The goal is to study terminal effects more cheaply and more often than full hypersonic missile flight tests allow.
